Miller struck out New York Yankee slugger Mickey Mantle and while pitching to another Yankee hitting star, Elston Howard, Kaline stole second.

Unperturbed, Miller, with his a.ssortment of change-ups and sneaky fast balls, proceeded to strike out Howard. Tiying to beat the rain, Richards sent Roy Sievers, the long- ball hitting first baseman of the Chicago White Sox, up to hit for his teammate, shortstop Luis Aparicio. Sievers worked the count to three and two and also struck CHit. The umpires then called time and after a 22 -minute wait called the game. Battle Of Pitchers Pitching dominated the game.

The National League had five hits, only one of them for extra bases, a double by Bill White, the St. Louis baseman who drove in the tying nin later in the game. The American licague got only four hits, but one of them was a home run by Rocky Colavito of the Detroit Tigers. It came in the first inning off Bob Purkey, the 13-game winner of the Cincinnati Reds. It was a lofted fly ball that just cleared the short left field wall.

After that blow, the American League never mounted a serious threat until the ninth inning. Jim Bunning, the Detroit Tigers right-hander who started for the American League, pitched three perfect innings, making it five for the year as he also retired the six men he faced in the San Francisco game.
